Ask for more


(Words and music by Shakira)

I'd rather dance in the air than lie on the ground
I'd rather open my ears than shut out the sound
Travel to the end of the earth and tell you what I found
I'd rather kneel down and pray than scream at the sun
Prefer to know than to find from my skeletons
I don't wanna sit down and cry while watching others run

If I miss the bus more than once
I'm not the only one
Don't wanna wait around for things to come to me
Cause when my hands are tied, I struggle to be free
And if they steal my eyes, I'll find a new way to see

The world's forever turning
There's a thought that never stops burning
If I'm pounding at your door
It's because I'm here to ask for more

Prefer a thousand hellos to just one good-bye
Prefer the pain of the truth to a pretty lie
Listen to the words in heart
Altough they may not rhyme

Listen to the words in my head
Some day it's so sublime
Don't wanna wait around for things to come to me
Cause when my hands are tied, I struggle to be free
And if they steal my eyes, I'll find a new way to see

The world's forever turning
There's a thought that never stops burning
If I'm pounding at your door
It's because I'm here to ask for more

The world's forever turning
There's a thought that's always burning
If I'm pounding at your door
It's because I'm here to ask for more

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics ASK FOR MORE of SHAKIRA is also present in the album Endless (2009)
